3D Systems Corporation (NYSE: DDD) announced that the Cadillac Formula 1 Team has deployed seven stereolithography 3D printing systems to support wind tunnel testing and parts production ahead of its 2026 Formula 1 season debut.

The new American Formula 1 team selected 3D Systems' SLA technology along with specialized materials including Accura Xtreme White 200, Accura Xtreme Black, and Accura HPC materials for rapid prototyping needs. The team worked with 3D Systems' Application Innovation Group to implement the manufacturing solution.

The Cadillac Formula 1 Team secured its place in the 2026 Formula 1 season and is scheduled to compete in the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Australian Grand Prix in March 2026. The team represents a new American entry into the FIA Formula One World Championship.

"3D Systems was founded on innovation, pioneering the additive manufacturing industry and we are continuing to lead it into an era of high-precision, highly repeatable production at scale," said Elvis Perez, Senior Vice President of Sales at 3D Systems. "We are pleased that our work has enabled Cadillac Formula 1 team to enter the 2026 Formula 1 season despite the short timelines and strict qualification conditions."

The SLA systems enable tool-free manufacturing, which the company stated reduces lead times and costs compared to traditional manufacturing methods. Formula 1 racing operates under technical requirements that present manufacturing challenges for mechanical components.

3D Systems has operated in the additive manufacturing industry for nearly 40 years, providing 3D printing technologies, materials and software to markets including medical, aerospace, transportation and motorsports sectors.
